FTE. Full time equivalent. Mosts costs are denominated in FTE - headcount as well as things like CPU/memory/storage/...

The main economic unit for most engineers is FTE not $.

When used to compare costs, “equivalent” is used instead of “employee.”

“The cost of one full-time employee is equivalent to X CPUs.” —> “The full-time equivalent is X CPUs.”
